Cevap
The producer must obtain a signed Statement of Good Health from the applicant confirming that his medical condition has not changed.
When an applicant does not pay the initial premium at the time of application, no contract is formed because no consideration has been given. When the policy is delivered, the agent must collect the premium and also obtain a signed Statement of Good Health. This document verifies that the applicant's health has not deteriorated since the original application was completed, ensuring the insurer is accepting the exact risk they originally underwrote.
